When Doing The Thing IS The Thing.
Thanksgiving isn’t just about the turkey — it’s the laughter, the stories, the flour on the counter, and the familiar rhythm of cooking together. This year at The Truitt House, we’re welcoming family, new faces, and all our favorite dishes as we savor the beautiful, messy work of making a holiday meal.
Just a Bite...
A simple cheese board can turn strangers into neighbors and “just a bite” into a clean plate. Hospitality really is that easy.
Dear Mom, How Do I Host?
Hosting isn’t about flawless details so much as creating a sense of ease the moment someone steps through your door. A table set with intention, a candle or two flickering, music low in the background, and a drink guests can pour themselves — that’s the quiet choreography that makes an evening feel gracious. Southerners know this instinctively: people remember how they were welcomed, not whether the forks matched. Once the atmosphere is warm and the hostess is at ease, the night has already found its footing.
